Children Of The Sun Lyrics - Anastasis - Dead Can Dance

We are ancient 

As ancient as the sun 

We came from the ocean 

Once our ancestral home 

So that one day 

We could all return 

To our birthright 

The great celestial dome 

We are the children of the sun 

Our journey's just begun 

Sunflowers in our hair 

We are the children of the sun 

There is room for everyone 

Sunflowers in our hair

Throughout the ages 

Of iron, bronze, and stone 

We marvelled at the night sky 

And what may lie beyond 

We burned our frames 

To the elemental ones 

Made sacrifices 

For beauty, peace and love 

We are the children of the sun 

Our kingdom will come 

Sunflowers in our hair 

We are the children of the sun 

Our carnival's began 

Our songs will fill the air 

Photos 

And you know it's time 

To look for reasons why 

Just reach up and touch the sky 

To the heavens we will sing 

We are the children of the sun 

Our journey has begun 

Are we older children 

Come out at night 

And even soulless 

Great hunger in their eyes 

Unaware of the beauty 

That sleeps tonight 

And all the queen's horses 

And all the king's men 

Will never put these children back 

Together again 

Faith, hope, our charities 

Breathe slow, our enemies 

We are the children of the sun 

We are the children of the sun
